Apple Television Ad Says iPhone "Coming June 29th"

I'm looking forward to find out what the plan details are and what exactly they mean by "Use requires minimum new 2 year activation plan." Once I buy the minimum new 2 year activation plan, can I take it out of the coverage area and use WiFi or the iPod capability?

Thank you for the screenshot. It looks like no iChat, but I'm still excited.

Hi

I don't care what your opinion of at&t or any company is but at least get your facts straight before making yourself an a*s. It's $39.99 for unlimited but, of course, could be cheaper if you don't message ( text, instant, ... ), ... IMHO, that's not a bad price if you all of those features daily ( average ). Of course, realistically, the iPhone can't even use Cellular Video and therefore, it is actually $34.99.

i just love apple lemmings that go straight to personal attacks when they hear something they dont like. now, i assume you can read, look at this link: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service//cell-phone-plans/data-connect-plans.jsp

see PDA Connect, Unlimited? and $44.99? now go crawl back under your rock.
 
The plan will be no more then 39.99 and that would inclue 1500 free text messages!!!!

39.99 for voice
39.99 for unlimited net/email/medianet
2.99 for enhanced voice mail with visual voicemail

I didn't mean for it to be an attack. When I see something I don't like? I am not buying an iPhone nor a adding data services to my cellular plan. So...I don't really give a personal hoot but...

None of us know yet if there will be an iPhone specific plan and I see it as a fair argument. However, since Mr. Jobs compared the iPhone to "smartphone" offerings of other brands, ... than I'd say it would fall under a smartphone plan, not PDA. However, this is simply speculation. Plus, the Smartphone plan that at&t offers seems to cover what data the iPhone would use ( web, email, texting ). On top of that, the Media™ Net Max Unlimited service offering doesn't seem to be connected to a specific data device and is less than your $44.99 price.

P.S. Smart move making a personal attack after feeling you've been attacked. Priceless. 🙂 I'm sorry, couldn't resist but I'm finished with this argument. I do apologize for any "personal attack" I have made upon your person.
 
Who is the Voice??

I haven't heard this voice before over the new Iphone spots? Anyone know? It used to be John Krasinski from The Office but it doesn't sound like him. It's a bit more bassier. Sounds like th eguys tired or something. Don't think I like it. Sounds like a tool. BRING BACK JIM!

Hello

After much lurking I figured it's about time I give something back to MacRumo(u)rs, and have decided to join the troupe! 🙂

If you scrutinise the 'How to' iPhone ad, you'll notice that at 2 seconds (upon the CU of the hand model selecting 'iPod'), the number of icons on the phone's dashboard grows.

<pic>

Clock jumps down to the last line, indicating that there is perhaps at least one surprise icon that has been added by Apple, that has not been revealed at this stage, and has been removed from the wide shots of the phone in the ads.

It may also indicate that users will be able to customise the order and appearance of icons, perhaps in a similar way that the dash on OS X can be cusomised.. thoughts? 🙂
Click to expand...

I think it's either 1 of 3 things:

1. Lousy editing; The "full shot" of the phone shows a row of 3 icons. But right when it zooms in so "the hand" can press the iPod button it changes to 4.

2. An extra icon; There's an extra icon which is higher up in the device which pushed all of the other icons down.

3. What you said; Moveable icons
 
I showed my grandma the ad. She said, "It's cool, but they better get some better music if they want me buying that thing." 😛, I love her.

Am I the only who's pretended like they are typing on the iPhone? When I do it's ALWAYS using my middle finger to type - just seems like it's a lot faster for me (that and it being the longest finger kinda helps...). Just wondering 'cause they show this guy using his index finger and it seems so slow...

Any thoughts? What finger do you use when you're pretending to type on the iPhone?
Click to expand...

Umm, most of use use the middle finger for other purposes.
 
Two observations:

As someone mentioned, GPS locators have been in all cell phones for years now. They are mandated by U.S. law to have an accuracy of 100 meters. That's good enough for basic location tracking, but not good enough for turn-by-turn directions a la a standalone GPS unit. So all cell phones (since Jan 1, 2005,) have the ability to know where you are.

As for the TV episodes not being sorted by show, well, the high end model only has 8 GB of storage, that's not enough to hold a massive amount of TV show episodes; so lumping them all into one list, not breaking them down by show, should be fine. When they come out with a higher capacity model it would be more needed to separate them; but at only 8 GB (much less 4 GB,) it's just putting submenus in where they are needed. For example, a quick check of my TV show downloads shows 1 hour shows (43 minutes without commercials,) come in at about 500 MB, half hour show (21 minutes,) about 250 MB. If the entire 8 GB is available for user storage, and ALL you store are TV shows, that's 16 one hour shows, or 32 half hour shows. Even 32 shows isn't too much to have in one long list. And I assume it will have a mechanism like the :apple:tv, where you can choose to sync only unwatched shows, only the last 10 shows, etc.

I have 28 items in my 'TV Shows' listing, totalling 10.5 GB. Showing them in iTunes in 'Grouped with artwork' mode is just fine.
 
Apple and at&t ad for iphone ignores interested million

😡 Is anyone else besides me irritated at apple and at&t for releasing news about the available date of the iPhone to the world and not informing the million interested individuals who signed up at both apple.com and att.com?

The att.com website reads "Submit your email address and be among the first to know when the iPhone is available". According to apple a million indivuals signed up.
What was the purpose of signing up when we are ignored?
I guess "among the first to know..." means you and the rest of the world.
I have yet to recieve any news for apple or att.

Totally agree. For such a revolutionary device, where's the creativity of the 1984 ad? My guess is these were done in partnership with AT&T...thus a watered down.
Click to expand...

These are very, very, VERY good ads. When someone watches them, they will start thinking "does my phone do that? No it doesn't". In short: it shows the person why he wants one. A chick throwing a hammer to a screen does not do that.

The 1984-is a geat ad. But it was meant for a totally different market. It was about a product that launched a whole new industry. This time things are different. People already have cell-phones and they know what to expect from a phone. These ads do a GREAT job showing the viewer that "this isn't your typical phone....". Some artsy ad would just leave the viewer with a sense of "so it's a phone, big deal". In 1984 things were different, since computers were not everyday things.

These features look like features people would use.

Can we have what people actually need, the simple things, you know, hardware updates

What would you like to see updated? There's not much to update you know. CPUs are best there is, hard-drives are quite large... What update?

oo oo what about iLife

Propably tied to Leopard. And is there something fatally wrong with current iLife?

or that silly bloody cat, thingymajig, can't remember it's name, oh, Leopard, that's it.

Is there something wrong with Tiger?

What makes you think that phones are not Apple's core-business?

Considering both Apple's specs and the FCC submission don't show any GPS info I WOULD be surprised (as would the FCC) and so, no... there will be no GPS this time around.



That's how the widget's work, so yeah. I presume so.

do GPS receivers need FCC approval ?

I just looked on CNN Tech and it got "front" page coverage (of the tech section)

But take a look of that picture. Those finger prints are NASTY! It must have been the day Steve announced it and his hands were sweaty. 😛
